(Get the code!)
I guess this is an instantiation of a greater architectural challenge:
Snap is meant to separate applications together with their respective dependency chains, but is augmenting a platform where there is a strong tradition of inter-package integration through the filesystem namespace. You will reach manpages, fonts, language specific packages, etc. through well-defined paths in the filesystem. This is (I guess) solved for the dependencies for the snapped application, but how do you/can you provide those filesystem-based services from a snap?
Are there any discussion of this greater issue somewhere?
